Newell wins "Speedtalk 150"

#28 Roger Newell wins the "Speedtalk 150" at Hideaway Speedway in Isanti (MN). Newell held off a late race surge from #18 Scott Shramski.

Shramski was the fast qualifier and winner of heat race number one. He lead some laps early in the 150 lap main event but then lost two laps to the leader because of a spin during a fuel stop on pit lane. Shramski made up both those laps on the track but came up just short as veteran driver Roger Newell held on for the win.

Dean shot a bunch of video of all the race action at Hideaway Speedway and Jason did an interview with Roger Newell that will air on "Speedtalk on 1360" Saturday (Sep 18) from 10-11am on KRWC radio and http://www.krwc1360.com/

Minnesota native Tony Ave dominated the SCCA Trans-Am series race at Brainerd International Raceway on Sunday (Sep 5), its the first time this series has raced at BIR since 1989. Tony was born in Duluth MN, was raised in Wisconsin and now lives in North Carolina.

Tony Ave lead flag to flag and won by an astonishing 65 seconds with and average speed of 95.39 mph on the 2.5 mile 13 turn road course at BIR, its his fifth win of the season.

Tony Ave was impressed with the race course, he said "I can just about make it through turn one with the throttle wide open, in these cars its pretty thrilling around there we hit about 180mph. I also really like the little kink before the start-finish line" said Ave.

Second place finisher Tomy Drissi is surely an entertainer, he was laughing and joking with the fans during the driver autograph session and seemed to appreciate the support of the local Jaguar fans.

Shakopee MN driver Jim Derhaag finished fifth in his 151st and final start in the SCCA Trans-Am series, he is retiring after a long and storied career racing both on ovals and road racing.
